Connecting the DV-SP305—Continued

Connecting to an AV Receiver

Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound from the TV speakers with the connections on page 17, connecting with an amplifier provides you high quality dynamic sounds.

To reproduce Dolby Digital surround and DTS surround sound, you need to connect to an amplifier with a Dolby Digital and DTS decoder respectively.

Before connecting

•When you connect the DVD Player to the amplifier, be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the mains before making any connections. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.

•Connect the plugs securely.

To enjoy surround sound you need to connect this player to an AV receiver using a digital output.

In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also connecting using the stereo analog connection.

To record the audio from a CD-R disc etc. to a cassette or CDR recorder that’s connected to the AV receiver, and when your AV receiver has Zone2, you must connect the DV-SP305’s analog audio outputs to the AV receiver.

You’ll probably also want to connect a video output to your AV receiver. You can use any of the video outputs available on this player (the illustration shows a standard (composite) connection).

1.Connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack on this player to a digital input on your AV receiver.
